Paul George 'seems likely' to return to lineup versus Hornets

Paul George has missed the Thunder’s last two games as a result of a calf contusion. He was seen working out on the floor prior to Saturday night’s 102-101 win in Memphis and was getting some work in on the court after shoot around on Monday, as the Thunder prepare to host the Hornets.

George ‘seems likely’ to suit up, per ESPN’s Royce Young.

Paul George (calf) is on the court going through a post-shootaround workout. He’s listed as questionable for tonight against the Hornets. Seems likely he’ll play, but his status will be official about 90 minutes before the game.

George appears to be going half-speed in the video below, but if he’s healthy enough to be doing on-court work, we also think he’ll probably return to the lineup tonight. The Thunder desperately need him.
